The entire State of Oregon should feel' im 'interest un-the establishment of a paper at Astoria and with few exceptions such is supposed to be the cis& Astoria is the sea-portof Ore gon less than one hundred miles of railway, for tbe construction of which the general government of theTTnited States have made a munificent grant .01 lands, is necessary to connect this place with the "Wallamet Valley Yindsbring the whole railroad system of Oregon and Washington Territory to one common center in Astoria. Here the commerce of the Pacific ocean may find a.port with sufficient safe anchorage for perpetual security. Here, on the most direct route be tween Euroupe and the ports of Asia, China, and Japan, may the heaviest cargoes break bulk, for the speedier transportation across the continent of America by rail. Here may 'the immigrant from over-crowded Europe find an elysium in our fertile valleys, wooded up lands, and undeveloped ledges of coal, iron,, copper, silver and gold. To be brief as possible, itj is for the purpose of taking hold of these topics, and discussing them in a general jjay, together with other mattcrsJntercstand benefit to the State, tlfatfthis journal is established. The people have long felt that such an enterprise was needed here, from the fact that Astoria is the most ac possible port on the coctst; is more di rectly on the through traveled route 1 aftel presents greater facilities for shippingxtnd better inducements to i'apitalia& than any other point in thcnorthioGst; and these facts are so little understood, even in Oregon, it seems imperative that a paper should be printpd here to advance and ad vocate such interests for the common good of all. Politically we shall be independent at all times. A thoroughly indepen dent journal, which will address itself to all .classes -of readers, can discuss matters of public importance upon higher grounds than partisan journals and by treating facts for what they are; manifestly exert a moral influ ence that dfc is not possible to exert through organs of party oi sect inter est. Xo small degree of patient and laborious work is required to do this, and no light exercise oi true inde pendence will be required, but our effort .shall be to present such a paper, and to do it successfully we trust that we possess that quality of indepen dence that will sustain us, backed by the right, in maintaining a principle to be advocated, and at the same time prudence and judgment enough to estimate the value of the end to be attained by any controversy we may be engaged in. Xothing but the truth shall be ad mitted into the columns of this paper no advertisements of a doubtful char acter .will be printed, and in giving the yews in a condensed form, care willnbe taken to exclude the sensa tions of the day and give such that thenio&t intelligent cannot find fault. Commercial, financial and social top ics will be discussed, from time to time as subjects are suggested, and whenever it is deemed most expedi ent for the public interest.

About twenty per cent of the sur face is a first class alluvial deposit, and productive beyond all account. The balance is generally of a clay foundation 'arid densely wooded.

The even temperature in summer and absence of great heat, renders Clat sop the " Butter Maker's Paradise." There are over 200,000 $cres of HEMLOCK TIMBER In the county that will cut from thir ty to fifty cords of bark to the acre, (say eight million cords), worth, in Portland, twelve dollars per cord. Or, if consumed at Astoria, after de ducting transportation on hides, a clear saving of two cents a pound on the cost of making leather; a profit in itself sufficient to warrant the em ployment of a million dollars capital in the 'rough' tanning business here.

John H. Mitchell is a man to ba trusted. It may seem necessary sometimes to dearboldly with public men in -connection with public matters, but it is never neces sary to forget that private character is private property, owned "by that most sacred of aTl circles, the family circle; and he who neecllessly assaifs lt'Should be regarded as much a crim inal as if he robbed the household of its dearest treasures, or plucked from it, for his own base uses, its fairest nou er. w e do not regard all the pre tended enemies of lion. John IT. Mitchell as his enemies, nor all his pretended' 'friends as friends in the true sense, in the vicinity of the east .where these highly sensational documents seem to haye their origin Mr. Mitchell appears to. stand yet very high in the estimation of good men and we believe that he will be clear ly and fully vindicated, and exonera ted fromthe false aspersions which have grown out of the late exposures concerning the most unfortunate cir cumstances of his early life. aSSftrtmnnf nfn....'.
